The beauty of SPGA
2013 is that it enables every site to be provisioned just the way you want it –
every single time. It’s a site vending
machine that generates on demand, uniformly and automatically.

Why is this so
important?

In organizations where lots of new
sites are created on an ongoing basis, the IT department can get overwhelmed with the load of creating and
provisioning new sites – making sure that site after site:

has
the right security settings

is
plugged in correctly into the taxonomy and hierarchy of the organization

has
a look and feel consistent with the organization’s branding

has
all the appropriate features and functionality for the team requesting the site

complies
with and enforces the governance standards set forth by the organization

In addition to the pressure of
backlogged requests, the actual work of producing site after site in this way
can be mind-numbingly tedious, and it carries the potential for significant
human error.

SPGA 2013
empowers the IT department to create
each type of sitejust once, and
have it automatically replicated on
demand at the user’s request.

With SPGA 2013,
administrators create Site Request Profiles with all the appropriate
functionality, standards, and limitations “baked” in. A “set-it-and-forget-it”
solution.Users then select the
appropriate Request Profile for the kind of site they need and fill out a short
request form which sets into motion the automated process.

Workflows
then activate, automating the approval, creation, and provisioning of the site,
and the completed site is "dispensed."
